In this episode of Luxury Cruising, host Dr. Krystal Sodaitis chats with Pat, luxury travel advisor and owner of Dancing Moon Travel, about her unforgettable journey aboard the Regent Seven Seas Splendor. From Athens to Istanbul, Pat recounts an intimate, all-inclusive voyage defined by impeccable service, fine dining, and small-ship serenity. She shares what surprised her most about the Regent experience, why luxury doesn’t have to mean pretentious, and how smaller ships open the door to more authentic cultural encounters.
What makes a luxury cruise feel truly luxurious?
Dr. Krystal Sodaitis welcomes Pat from Dancing Moon Travel to explore what sets Regent Seven Seas Cruises apart. On her first-ever Regent voyage — an incentive trip for top-performing advisors — Pat sailed from Athens to Istanbul, discovering a brand that redefines elegance through warmth, attentiveness, and effortless sophistication.
Pat explains why Regent’s all-suite, all-inclusive model is the ultimate value in high-end cruising — with fine dining (no upcharges), curated shore excursions, laundry service, and world-class hospitality included. She takes listeners through stunning ports like Santorini, Rhodes, Bodrum, and Kusadasi, sharing how small-ship cruising provides deeper cultural immersion and peaceful exploration.
Whether you dream of the Aegean’s blue domes, crave Michelin-level cuisine at sea, or wonder how “luxury” looks different to every traveler — this conversation invites you to see ultra-luxury cruising in a whole new light.
Pat is a seasoned luxury travel advisor and owner of Dancing Moon Travel, based in Southwest Florida. Since 2008, she’s helped travelers craft unforgettable journeys around the world — from intimate yacht charters in Croatia to ultra-luxury cruises on Regent Seven Seas.
